    Instagram…world of pure imagination

    After getting a great last minute deal on some tickets we decided to take the kids to see Charlie and The Chocolate Factory The Musical at the New Wimbledon Theatre last night.

    It was a great night with some interesting effects used to recreate some of the set pieces from the original film. Thankfully the kids fell asleep on the way home!


    Tango Serida Workshop & Social

    Sequence Fun Dance

    Our next sequence dance workshop and social will be the Tango Serida on Sunday 25th June.

    These workshops teach the sequence dance, normally between 30-45 minutes (unless it’s Argentine Stroll!), and then are followed up by social ballroom, Latin and sequence dancing.

    The session lasts for 2 hours and includes free tea & coffee.


    Introducing Bachata

    Merengue Class

    In our quest to make sure that you can dance to ANY piece of music we are introducing a new dance, the Bachata.

    This will come in for all classes this week, except for the Sunday night, Monday night and Wednesday afternoon classes (which will still do Merengue).

    Bachata, like Merengue, hails from the Dominican Republic but has a more free-flowing rhythm.

    We look forward to introducing you to this fun dance. Going forward the final dance in our rotation will cycle between Merengue, Mambo, and Bachata for all classes except those listed above which will still be Merengue.

    Instagram…birthday Charleston

    Friday night saw Antony heading over to Camberley Cricket Club to provide a Charleston workshop at someone’s The Great Gatsby-themed 50th birthday party.

    The couple had also been secretly visiting Antony to learn a Charleston routine to perform for all their friends and family too.

    It was great to see so many people dressing for the occasion too.

    Sunday Workshop Changes

    Due to declining numbers in our Sunday workshops we have made the decision to cancel Sunday Improver, Intermediate and Advanced workshops with immediate effect.

    Sunday Sequence & Social workshops will continue for the moment.

    For the next few weeks both Antony & Denise will open up additional private lesson availability whilst we review what will take place on Sundays.

    Changes to Social Event Regularity

    As we now host a wide variety of social events over the course of the year we are going to reduce the number of Friday night socials.

    Instead of having a monthly Friday social we will only host them every two months, when we don’t have another event that month.

    As such our next standard social will be Friday 30th June, with our Halloween social then on Friday 27th October.

    Glastonbury Dance Weekend

    We had another great break down in Street near Glastonbury. This year we were teaching Quickstep and had a ‘Charleston’ theme to the Saturday night.

    ‘Silent’ Social for Comic Relief

    It was a great night and thank you to everyone who attended, or donated if they were unable to make it.

    Overall we raised over £600 for Comic Relief, well in excess of our £250 target, and many students asked us when we were going to host the next one! Read more….

    Good Friday Afternoon Tea

    This year we decided to trial having our Spring afternoon tea on Good Friday, the idea being to allow you to pencil the date in every year.

    It was a sell-out event and everyone had a great time.

    Our next catered event is the Spring Dinner & Dance, and our next Afternoon Tea will be at Christmas (details soon).

    Looking to learn the Tango Serida, but don’t have the space, or want to practice at home? Check out our Sequence for Small Spaces series of videos.

    Sequence dancing is where you repeat the same 16 or 32 bar routine throughout a song, dancing around the room, and in sync with everyone else.

    Now that’s great when you have the space! What we’re going to show you today is how to practice the basic movements in your front room.

    The Dance – Tango Serida

    The Tango Serida features a mixture of standard Tango steps, as well as some extra moves thrown in.

    To convert this into the full routine you don’t need to change anything from the first half.

    The first change would be as you start the second half of the routine. You would dance the spins down line of dance and end in promenade looking down the room.

    The chassés at the end, after the Contra Check, would also be danced back and forward on the diagonal – with no rotation.

    The Music

    For this Sequence for Small Spaces lesson we have used Desafiante by Tiki Tiki:

    The Tango Serida video

    You can see our Sequence for Small Spaces online lesson below:

    Don’t forget, if you enjoyed our online Tango Serida sequence dance video please send it to your family and friends. Why not also check out our other online dance lessons.
